One block done, three to go

They are not fast but I am happy how it is turning out.

Here's a close up.
It is done with invisible thread with a buttonhole stitch, one stitch forward, one to the side. I increase the stitch length slightly except on tight corners when I reduce it considerably, I set the stitch width at 1 or below.

The blue lines will wash out. If you want to know which marking pen I use, go to this post.

It has taken quite some time from this drawing I made in July last year....

We've had some wonderful weather and have flowers and sun. I stopped the car on my way to the supermarket to take these photos for you.  I stood on the bridge to take all three photos. Can you see the castle on the hill in the last one? It is magical round here.
